Why Ice Cream Banana Trees?
A fast-growing, cold-tolerant variety, our Ice Cream Banana Tree is known for its hardy qualities and delicious taste...especially since it produces fruit that actually tastes like ice cream.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
When you taste the soft, creamy fruit from the Ice Cream Banana Tree, you'll agree that it was aptly named. The taste and consistency is unlike any other banana variety in the world. Often compared to vanilla custard, the flavor and texture is smooth, sweet and creamy. But the best part is, with our Ice Cream Banana, you get fruit faster and more easily because we've planted and nurtured it for months ahead of shipping.
And you won't find this one-of-a-kind variety in big box stores. Plant yours today and start growing Ice Cream in your own backyard!

Great customer service
I couldn’t figure out how to edit my previous review, but I wanted to add that I’ve called the plant care person at FastGrowingTrees two or three times with questions regarding my Banana tree. I’ve gotten some real good Information and she directed me to a couple of good YouTube videos, which have been very helpful.
Great buy!
What a great buy! I bought this banana tree 4 1/2 months ago in the 1 gallon pot size. It came nicely packaged and not damaged. I planted it with some Miracle-Gro potting soil and I've had zero issues with it! I planted it at the edge of the forest so it would have a little wind protection, some shade, and some sunshine. It is growing so well and already has two very healthy pups. The highest leaf on the plant is already 5 ft tall. Can't wait for my nanners!!
Spectacular tree
The first picture shows the size box that it was delivered and. The packaging is off the charts. My granddaughter was helping and we like to never got the box open. 😁The tree was much bigger than I anticipated and it arrived in fairly good condition. I ordered a 3 gallon pot. However, I think shipping was delayed due to the hurricane damage and western North Carolina. Three out of the four leaves are split and I’m trying to decide if those need to be removed. I’m probably gonna call their customer service number just to find out, but it’s a pretty awesome looking tree already
Grows really well
We received a single ice cream banana tree. A few years later and we have 12' high banana trees. Multiple and producing bananas. They are growing great and we're very happy.
